Stop by Kickstarter if you wish to offer your financial support to a 2D action RPG called Hyper Light Drifter, which is presented itself as a tribute to 8-bit and 16-bit classics, "with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale...

Something is terribly wrong with my brain if I'm getting sucked back into Diablo 3 on the Xbox 360 - a game I know only too well and have played it all the way to Inferno on the PC. Why does shit like this have to happen? I had a perfectly normal (well, semi-normal life)? Hm, not that this is one of those sleep-deprived Star Wars: KotOR or Dragon Age phases...

I just love how BioWare keeps reminding me of how effectively they've killed off two of their best game franchises - Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Look, I'm happy that games are evolving, but all this hype surrounding Dragon Age: Inquisition escapes me...

Looks like the action RPG, Torchlight 2, has sold over one million copies, the folks from development studio Runic
Games tweeted recently:
We had an amazing 2012, and proud to say that #Torchlight2 has sold over 1 million units! Thank you! Happy New Year's Eve everyone :)

Choice from AT and an overall score of 9.0/10, in addition to grabbing the

RPG in 2012.

finally met its match.

use a range of useful spells that can help you heal or improve your character's
abilities like movement, marksmanship etc...

Kickstarter announcement for Project Eternity, which was described as a
"an isometric, party-based RPG set in a new fantasy world," which they say "pays
homage to the great Infinity Engine games of years past: Baldur's Gate, Icewind
